Now look at this article (which I found all by myself) from the 14 August 1965 edition of the Bermuda Recorder:
Yes. It's exactly the same story. Although, in Bermuda, the show started to air after it was published (on Mondays, from 13 December 1965).
Evidently, recycling press releases as news isn't quite as modern a phenomenon as it may appear. But Bermuda's press has more than that to offer, as we shall see in Part 2.
